What is the basic sequence of activities in BAB for a human player? I'd like to help my learning curve by understanding the order of things I should be considering/doing in a typical turn. The user manual is very well-written and helpful with detailed information, but seems to lack a "do this first, do this next" section.

You may want to check out the stream Erik did of the tutorial. I found it quite helpful.

Thanks, panman. I have watched a bit of it, and will watch more. What I would like is a readable layout of the basic gameplay, like a flowchart.

for me the basic first learning battle with the questions marks should teach the very basics, but also agree that a better one is also maybe needed as i moan about other games being to hard also so can see it from both sides now, what one finds easy or easier not everyone will, this is the challenge for all developers, to cover all abilities with guides that teach the basics to all levels...

a challenge indeed

1. Move units of same brigade/division and then its commander.
2. Change facing if desired then change formation
3. Repeat with rest of brigades/divisions
4. Move corps commanders so their range covers their subordinate commanders
5. Do same with army commanders.
6. Issue brigade orders, then corps orders, then army orders.
